Can Human Being Really Conquer The Universe? Whenever I hear the news about NASA's multi-billion space projects, I can not help laughing. I never got the points why human being devotes so many resources and energy to conquering the outer space while its earth living facing so many challenges. Sending men/women to the Moon may ostensibly seems a great stride for human being. But there is no direct and immediate positive impacts to our daily life. It only benefited our vanity. The Apollo project spent multi-billion dollars and only left a few footprints on the moon surface. Meanwhile, there are over 10million children in our world are still in starvation. At only a fraction of Apollo project cost, we can provide enough and healthy food to the children. Clearly, keeping our children from starvation is better use of precious resources than exploring the outer space. Human being is such a greedy and pompous creature that even invented the crazy idea of conquering the universe. Human being as to the vast universe is much like bacteria as to human body. Human being along with other living creatures are like bacteria thriving on a teeny tiny cell, ie the earth, of cosmic giant. Setting foot means we successfully infected another cell of cosmic giant. Do we understand the consequences of what we are doing? What if the cosmic giant eventually notices the ailment caused by our ambitious colonizing activities and decides to take a pill? God has given us a comfortable earth to live on. Maybe our mission is to live happy life on the home planet. Considering the massive scale of the whole universe, it is definitely impossible for human being to conquer the universe in foreseeable future. In fact, we should drop the silly idea of conquering the universe and focus on improving our own home planet. It is not worth to waste our energy on such hopeless and pointless activities to conquer the universe.
